Public bug reported:

packagekit wants to update but cant, all measures to fix it result in
the same error:  you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to
correct the problem, but that does prompt the error that the package is
not installed while it is.

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of packagekit-tools:
 packagekit-tools depends on packagekit (= 1.2.5-2ubuntu3); however:
  Package packagekit is not installed.

Trying to install anything about this package always results in error: "E: dpkg 
was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to cor
rect the problem." and that solution does not work but again prompt the error 
above claiming dependency problems.

I have tried:
sudo apt install --reinstall packagekit package-tools
sudo apt -f install


The update either says:
<html>Cannot obtain lock:<br/><br/>E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually 
run &apos;dpkg --configure -a&apos; to correct the problem. 
</html>
or more rarely
<html>The PackageKit daemon has crashed:<br/><br/>The PackageKit daemon has 
crashed</html>

This bug is probably not a security vulnerability in itself but since no
security updates can be made since this problem started it is kinda one.
Since I am not sure if you consider that a security vulnerability I will
leave the option unmarked.
